“I want to prove that I’m the best in the world, and the only one there besides Bivol and Beterbiev is David Morrell.” said Benavidez to the media, “That was the best fight I could see. It’s not the easiest fight. It’s probably the toughest besides Beterbiev and Bivol.” Benavidez said that the fights he has taken have been tough ones. “Every fight I’ve taken, they’ve been hard, competitive fights where it looks like they’re 50-50. But I go in and do my thing and show why I’m the best in the world,” said Benavidez to the media. Benavidez went on to say that Morrell’s unbeaten record is flawed. “That’s the difference between me and him. He’s fought against people that weren’t really good.
